Custom for Lat/Long text field format

I am new to the creation of PDF files and did not JavaScript for 10 years.

I was hoping that someone would be able to provide the custom format script required format a text field for Lat/Long in DMS (e.g. 70 ° 12' 34 "W).

Short, someone at - it a custom format script I could go and change?

Thanks in advance!

Try calling the function shown below in the latitude or custom Format script longitude field. This function is intended to be placed in the form of script at the level of the document.

As a custom Format to the text box script, use the following:

For Longitude field

dd_to_dms (true);

-OR-

For Latitude field

dd_to_dms (false);

I was liberal with the comments in the hope of equivocation. What I have not done is a kind of data validation. The field entry is supposed to be a number that makes sense (for example, to +/-180 for longitude, +/-90 for latitude). You can add a custom script to strike to limit the entry of a number and a Validation script to check its value. He rounds as second to the second, but this could be changed if you need fractional part for seconds. Post again if you have any questions.

function dd_to_dms (isLong) {}

Custom Format script for text acroform field
Convert lat/long values from decimal to degrees, Minutes, seconds
' DDD.dddd-> () [DD] D [M] I S [S] "N | S | E | W
isLong: latitude, longitude = true = false

Field blank if no entry
If (! event.value) {}
Event.Value = "";
return;
}

Get the field as a number entry
var val = + event.value;

var cd, t, degrees, minutes, seconds;

Determine what cardinal to display
If (isLong) {}
CD = (val< 0)="" "w"="" :="">
} else {}
CD = (val< 0)="" "s"="" :="">
}

To make the number positive
Val = Math.abs (val);

degrees = part of the input value
degrees = val | 0;

Download fractional part
t = val 1.0%;

minutes = fully part of (fractional part * 60)
t = t * 60;
minutes = t | 0;

seconds = fully part of (the fractional part of previous * 60)
t = t % 1.0;
seconds = (t * 60) | 0;

Display in the field
Event.Value = degrees + '\u00b0' + minutes + "'"+ seconds + "\" "+ cd;»
}

  • Creating a field of custom for a new text stamp Dymanic

    I was not able to solve this problem yet, so I'll transfer...

    I create a new dynamic custom stamp, but instead of the time, when inserted, I then have to manually enter the text in the dynamic text field.

    How can I change the script in the dynamic field of the stamp to do this? Here is a sample of what I need: (is the user input section in the boxed area)

    Complies_w_Submittal-temp.jpg

    I created the image in Word, then creates the pdf file.   Then, in Acrobat, I created a custom stamp, retrieved from the image of pdf has been created from Word, and registered as a custom stamp.  I then opened this file (C:\ < FOLDER USER > \application data\adobe\acrobat\8.0\Stamps...) and also opened a dynamic stamp as well.  I then copied the Date/time dynamic and inserted in my stamp (sending) field and tested on a pdf doc.  My Submittal w stamp / Date field / hour worked.

    So then I reopened my mailing stamp and edited text field properties and changed the custom calculation Script:

    [quote]

    var cResponse = app.response({)
    cQuestion: 'Enter the section number to appear in the stamp.',
    CTitre: 'Section number '.
    cLabel: "item number:"
    });
    If (cResponse is nothing)
    App.Alert ("thanks for trying anyway.");
    on the other
    App.Alert ("you answered, \""+cResponse+"\", for the section number")
    + "question.", 3);

    [/ quote]

    That, once I've stamped a page brought to the top of the dialog box:

    Warning.jpg

    but after I entered the data in the dialog box and 'OK' stamp, page has been stamped, but the dynamic text box was empty.

    Complies_w_Submittal-temp1.jpg

    Issues related to the:

    1-      Why was the empty dynamic text box, what don't get me?

    2-      The dialog box that appeared was titled "WARNING JavaScript window - Section number"how get rid of the 'Java Script WARNING' window?  or did I miss type something...

    3-      When you select OK, do we have an another dialog (him ' said it... ("pop up), or can we just have the inserted stamp and then after this dialog Section number?

    Yet once again, I'm not very good at all at this level of the code, so any help is appreciated...

    Thanks in advance

    And the extra character lies on a line.

    Corrected code:

    var cResponse = app.response({)
    cQuestion: 'Enter the section number to appear in the stamp.',
    CTitre: 'Section number '.
    cLabel: "item number:"
    });
    If (cResponse == null) {}
    Event.Value = "* INCORRECT *;

    }

    on the other
    Event.Value = cResponse;

  • How can I get several lines to be printed for a blank text field so that it can be filled by hand?

    I have to create forms that are to be completed by hand and by electronic means.  The problem that I am running provides several lines that will be printed for the people who are the form of fill by hand.  I tried to add an image of lines behind the text field, but these would have got in the way when the form has been completed electronically.

    I use LiveCycle Designer ES2 v. 9.0 on a Windows computer.

    Thank you.

    Ok.

    1. Take a textfield
    2. Navigate to the object. Allow multiple lines
    3. Go to the Layout | Height | activate "develop to adapt."
    4. Go to initialize or readyform event (you must change the _ for your textfield) this.rawValue = "___\n___\n___";
    5. Go to the event, enter - this.rawValue = null;
    6. Go to the exit event

    If (this.) RawValue is nothing)

    {

    this.rawValue = "___\n___\n___";

    } else {}

    With this solution you can simulate the same reason above.

    I hope it's useful for you,

  • Text field: format of the digital None change category

    Hi all

    I have a loop to set all the fields read-only.

    fFc var = this.numFields;
    var FieldName = "
    for (var s = 0; s < fFc; s + +) {}
    FieldName = this.getNthFieldName (s)
    Var AFN = this.getField (FieldName);
    If (!.) (FieldName is "FNIS_Print")) {/ / Do not set the button "print" read only}
    fFn.readonly = true;
    }
    }

    Our provider PDF sets category format of some numeric field (2 decimal separator). The merged data in the field has already been formatted, so I would change the fields format category of digital to none with the help of the loop above.

    Can it do? If so, can you give us some examples?

    Thank you

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've searched high and low to answer this very question.  Finally, on my own tests, I discovered an interesting solution that solves the problem mentioned here.

    Property cannot be set simply the 'Format' to an empty string, you must also set the property to "Strike" to an empty string.  This will actually change the format of the field 'None' behaviour both within the Format of the field that is tab

  • Text field formatting, I'm doing it wrong?

    I'm moving in AS 3.0, finally, and I run into trouble with formatting of a text field created in As it load the text very well, but it doesn't format correctly. What Miss me? Just a tip, the text field is created on a black background, which is why the white text and border. Help!

    I want to say that you're doing anything wrong, because it seems that it should do what you want, but then I'd be wrong. To use the setTextFormat, apply it after that the text has been entered into the textfield. Instead, you can leave the line of code where it is, but replace it with the defaultTextFormat assignment (property):

    txtWhat.defaultTextFormat = txtBody;

    If you check the help file, from what I can decipher, it indicates the setTextFormat method to apply the format to the specified (default text to all what is there), so if there is no text when it is applied, it affects all nothing to the format.

  • How to set the background color for the HTML text field

    Please don't me flame for this question is a bit off-topic. I would like to indicate to the end user that a field is mandatory. Using the name field * rating is good, but end users require a somewhat more tentative approach, they would like to have a light blue background for required fields.

    Is there a HTML attribute for the text fields to achieve? Thanks in advance.

    Try this

    then choose the property attributes of HTML form elements give this code

  • Background color for the calculated text field

    Hello

    I have a text field which is calculated according to a formula that shows "RED" "GREEN" or "YELLOW".  I would like the field to automatically color itself based on such calculation.

    I tried to enter the following formula in the output * (JavaScript) events, but because the user is not really striking in the field, it will not work and the field remains white:

    VNAME var = this.somExpression;

    var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode (VNAME + "#textEdit.border.fill.color .ui.");

    If (this.rawValue == "GREEN") {}

    fieldObj.value = "0,255,0;

    }

    ElseIf (this.rawValue == 'RED') {}

    fieldObj.value = "255,0,0";

    }

    ElseIf (this.rawValue == "YELLOW") {}

    fieldObj.value = "255,255,0;

    }

    else {}

    fieldObj.value = "255,255,255";

    }

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    ~ Lisa

    Lisa,

    The code is supposed to be placed in the calculate event and not on the Exit event. Given that this field is read only the user never enters whatever it is in the field then the Exit event is meaningless.

    Here is the improved version of the calculate event code...

    Change the scripting language Java script and paste the code below into the event to Calculate the global field (RedYellowGreen1).

    Var score = TotalScore.rawValue;
    strColor var = "";

    If (Score == 0 |) Score == 1 | Score == 2)
    strColor = "GREEN";
    If (Score == 3 |) Score == 4 | Score == 5 | Score == 6 | Score == 7 | Score == 8 | Score == 9 | Score == 10 | Score == 11 | Score == 12 | Score is 13)
    strColor = 'YELLOW ';
    if(score>=14)
    strColor = "RED";

    Switch (strColor) {}
    case "GREEN":
    This.Border.Fill.Color.Value = "0,255,0;
    break;
    case "RED":
    This.Border.Fill.Color.Value = "255,0,0";
    break;
    case "YELLOW":
    This.Border.Fill.Color.Value = "255,255,0;
    break;
    }

    this.rawValue = strColor;

  • Board for the dynamic text field problem

    I'm generating three text fields using an array of text data. The only text that appears is the content of the last element of the array. I have attached my code. Any ideas why three text fields are not created with the text inside elem table?

    Thank you!

    These depths are not going to change, so each textfield replaces its predecessor. and then they all overlap because you do not change the ownership of the FLF to your textfields. (and your textformat object is not something useful, yet).

    I have a field named EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY who is VARCHAR2 (500).

    You can add the button to your table as a table or lay out your form.

  • LiveCycle ES2 - text field empty multiple lines deleting data entry for clients

    I use a Java Script to add several lines to an empty text field.  If the customer type in the text field replaces the lines.  If the client prints only the form, they remain the lines.  The problem I have is if the customer type in the domain and must then go back and change the text, as long as they tab or click on the text field in the because the text disappears.

    Hello

    I think you might be better with another approach, with this approach, the user will have the same trouble if they save the form and open later.

    Try to change the initialization script

    
    this.format.picture.value
    = "null{________________________________\r\n________________________________\r\n________________________________\r\n________________________________}";
    

    You will then be able to completely remove the code entry and exit events.

    The above code sets the display null model, which means that it will appear only if the field has no value.  Normally, you can enter this in the model display dialog box but that you cannot enter return carridge/newline characters.

  • JavaScript - fill the listbox text field

    Hoping someone can help me! I'm new to Javascript and I am filling a text field with the selections in a list box, including the possibility for multiple selections. I want to separate multiple selections by a comma, and I've tinkered this script as a custom calculation in the text field of various other discussions:

    var textFieldNewValue = «»

    Delimiter = ', ';

    var f = this.getField ("capabilities");

    var a = f.currentValueIndices;

    If (typeof == 'number') / / a simple selection

    {

    textFieldNewValue = f.getItemAt (a, false);

    }

    else / / multiple selections

    {

    Console.println("Selection:");

    for (var i = 0; I <.) Length; i ++)

    {

    If (I! = 0)

    {

    textFieldNewValue += "";

    }

    textFieldNewValue += f.getItemAt (a [i], false) + separator;

    }

    }

    Event.Target.Value = textFieldNewValue;

    My problem is that the list also ends with a comma, which I would like to delete. I don't know how. If anyone can help with this problem, I would appreciate it!

    It's a convoluted big... A much simpler version would be the following:

    var v = this.getField("capabilities").value;

    If (typeof v == 'string') event.value = v;

    else event.value = v.join (",");

  • Change options of text fields PDF form open in the PLAYER on a Mac.

    I created a PDF using Adobe X PRO form. All fields are DISABLED for the Options/Properties / "scroll long text. I save and distribute the form as a "reader extended pdf/activate additional features' so can be saved and returned using the PLAYER.

    When a Mac user opens the form in Adobe READER, ALL text fields change to scroll. When he returned the form for me, each text field, signing even and fields date, are modified to scroll the text.

    What happens during the transition from PC to MAC?

    Preview is the default on Mac PDF Viewer. It should never be used with PDF Forms. Let them know that they must use Adobe Reader. Provide a link or a URL where it can be downloaded and let them know that it's free.

    There are things you can do to make it work not in the preview, but it's some scripts. If you are interested in this approach, post again.
